English Fairy Tales, The Story of the Three Little Pigs, sentence 63

When the little pig saw what he was about, he hung on the pot full of water, and made up a blazing fire, and, just as the wolf was coming down, took off the cover, and in fell the wolf; so the little pig put on the cover again in an instant, boiled him up, and ate him for supper, and lived happy ever afterwards.

Who acts: little pig, wolf · What happens: see, be, hang, make up, blaze, come down · To what, where: pot, blazing fire, cover, wolf, little pig
